James Brown - Funky Kingston Sex Machine

So, the story goes like this:

James heard of this awesome funky Reggae Soul band "Toots & The Maytals" and their massive hit "Funky Kingston" which was actually inspired by his own music. When he and his band came for a visit in Jamaica, he immediately contacted Toots to do a recording on their Funky Kingston Riddim. Chris Blackwell agreed to James and co. recording the chune, but as always it somehow got shelved until now.

In the meantime since the recording had a lot of weird pauses inbetween, a particular kind of bedroom selecta called moorieman added some excerpts of James' infamous interview where he was probably completely stones out of his head.

I am not linking to the original recordings as I assume everbody knows them!?
